It looks like Kevin Gates is revving up for a new project. Only The Generals II dropped earlier this year and since then, there have been seldom releasing from Gates' corner. He's delivered a few guest verses and shared some remixes before sliding through with his latest single, "Move" last week. The song was an unexpected turn from Gates due to its more pop, dancehall-influenced vibe.
This week, Gates came back with a sense of familiarity for fans on his new remix of Young Dolph's "Talking To My Scale." The rapper takes on the trap production, sharing vivid details of his time in the trap and flexing his lyrical prowess.
Check out the latest from Kevin Gates below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
Quotable Lyrics
Positive aura this street shit apart of me
Phone on do not disturb, nobody callin' me
I don't take orders, respect that I'm grown
Fresh out of prison and I done got strong
You can't do that 'cause you can't be alone
